I’m Andrea Siegel, and nobody would mistake me for a fitness buff. I don’t do triathlons, or consult a personal trainer, or monitor my personal bests at the gym. I don’t stress out over things like having skipped my big walk with the dog the other day: My beast refuses to go for a stroll when it’s wet out, and dragging a dog for a mile sounds dreadful for both of us, though we both need the walk. And I know I shouldn’t have had all that chocolate last Sunday.
Obviously, some level of fitness is part of a healthy lifestyle. So I am pleased that I made it onto the cross-trainer and treadmill at the gym a few times last week. Some of us won’t get past the beginner level, or aren’t coordinated enough for fancy aerobic workouts or don’t have the time to devote to a major fitness initiative.
I’ll be looking at activities that are fun, easy to sneak into a busy schedule and simple to follow, along with ideas for eating more healthful foods without feeling deprived, and ways to get started with a fitness program.
With that in mind, I plan on sharing not only what experts tell me, but some of my experiences. I’m looking forward to you sharing yours.
